We know exercising affects our mental health and brain functioning. New studies show how varied intensity of aerobics changes the effects. A new study conducted by Dartmouth college states that the low and moderate intensity of aerobics have different effects on our mental health as compared to the effects of high aerobics intensity. The study determines how cycling, swimming, running, or doing other cardio workouts changes the functioning of the brain.
The study’s lead author used fitbits for determining the intensity level of working out in about 100 participants. This longitudinal study was conducted for a span of one year, collecting real-world data. After a full year of research, it was concluded that different intensities have different effects on the human brain.
However, researchers have put on the disclaimer clearly that since results are long-term, they need to be patiently waited for. No improved cognitive functionality can be achieved from a quick workout session. Consistency and patience is the key. This research claims longitudinal workout can lead to improved cognitive development and better mental health
